The INFJ psychological type (as outlined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Assessment, or MBTI® Test) is the Introverted Intuition with Extravered Feeling type. A typical INFJ is astute, imaginative, and quixotic. They’re very good readers of people, with the ability to accurately understand the worries, frustrations, incentives, qualms and beliefs of others, even if those individuals are not yet aware of these feelings themselves. An MBTI Test -assessed INFJ type uses this innate ability to comprehend the inner workings of others and applies them to their occupation.

NOTE: the following chart uses “J” instead of “Z”. Some newer reports dropped the “Judging” nomenclature because it gave the wrong impression of what the test was assessing, but both J & Z mean the same thing.

In the name of “love,” many Christians are left shacked by the Age, unable to discriminate piss from milk—convinced that the biblical morals of God are nothing more than the passé customs of a bigoted generation.
